truth or dare (jachary)

Chapter Three

zach 💍

of course. of fucking course. of all people, i would run into jack avery. i practically ran back and sat down next to jonah. he was beaming at me. i was not in the mood.

"jack avery just touched you." jonah whispered, clearly amused.

"yeah, and i just embarassed myself and fell on my ASS in front of him."

we both started laughing. i felt more eyes on me. i look up to see jack and two of his volleyball friends looking at me.

great . i quickly darted my eyes to the floor and felt my cheeks grow redder. jonah looked at me with question in his eyes, but quickly realized what was happening.

right as the bell rang, jack and i made direct eye contact. i dashed towards my fifth hour class, but i swore out of the corner of my eye i saw a smile forming on the beautiful boy's lips.

~~time skip dedicated to jacks smile~~

jack 🍜

the next morning did not start off like the last. i slept through two alarms, and eventually woke up thirty minutes late when isla came in my room and jumped around.

"jack! jack!" she said while bouncing towards me.

i grunted and rolled over "what" i groaned.

"GOOD MORNING," she yelled as she ran out of my room. 

i mentally slapped myself as i forced myself out of bed. i threw on a black shirt and some white jeans and went straight to my car to get bean.

my mind wandered to yesterday in the lunchroom. for some reason i couldn't get that skittles kid off my mind.

corbs must have seen right through it, because right when we arrived in the school parking lot, he said "maybe we should sit with them today."

neither dani or i had to ask what he was talking about. a huge grin grew on daniel's face from the back seat. he just nodded. suddenly both pairs of eyes were on me. i was blushing.

"uh yeah, sure. okay."

zach💍

another day went by, slightly better than the last. i trudged along the lunch line, not even pretending to wait for jonah. once again, i saw jonah already sitting at our usual spot. only this time, there were three other heads.

a brown, a bleached blonde, and one . . . curly head. oh no. i mentally debated whether to flee the lunchroom or sit at a different table, but i couldn't do that to jonah.

i felt all four pairs of eyes on me as i slowly sat down.

"hey, zach." jonah says

"sup skittles" jack said. i mentally cringed at that cruel nickname, but i know jack doesn't know where it came from and it was lighthearted.

"h-hey" i looked at the ground with a red face.

the two other volleyball players introduced themselves, the blonde being corbyn or bean, and the brunette being daniel or helmet, because he hits the volleyball over the net with his head at games.

we had some casual conversations, and i felt jacks eyes on me most of the time. at one point we made direct eye contact and he smiled. he said, "we should hang out tonight, all five of us."

my face grew hot as i stared at the floor and imagined what hanging out with jack avery would be like.

"yeah, sure zach and i will be there." jonah said while elbowing me in the side. i cleared my throat. "uh, yeah."

corbyn and daniel both nodded in agreement and grinned at jack.

jack slightly blushed and cleared his throat. "great, so you two can come sit in at volleyball practice then i could drive y'all over."

right as the bell rang jack locked eyes with me and smiled again.

damn that smile.
